EUR/USD Analysis

Last week saw a strong rise in this pair, but this seems to have peaked now. It is no accident that this peak occurred at around the 1.1250 area as this was a really key support/resistance area before the last dramatic breakdown in this pair a few months ago.

At the time of writing the pair is falling but as London opens that might change quickly. However it really looks as if we are going to fall and test the supportive area at around 1.1035 to 1.1013. If the price can break down quickly below 1.1000 that will probably be a bearish sign. However some consolidation at around 1.1000 is a more likely scenario.

EURUSD 5515

There are a few high-impact events scheduled today concerning both the USD and the EUR. There will be a release of Spanish Unemployment Change data at 8am London time. Later there will be a release of U.S. Trade Balance data at 1:30pm London time, followed at 3pm by U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI.
